Designing AI with Purpose

July 8, 2026
A discussion with Zach Gardner, Chair of the AI Architectures Community, and Paul Preiss, CEO and Founder of IASA Global
Every technology leader has heard the pitch: AI will transform your business. Fewer have heard a straight answer to the harder question: “How do you actually architect it so it doesn't fall apart in production?”
That's the question at the center of a conversation between Zach Gardner, Chair of the AI Architectures Community, and Paul Preiss, Founder of Iasa Global. Their discussion cuts through the hype cycle and gets into the architectural foundations that separate AI systems that scale safely from AI systems that quietly become a liability.
If you're an architect, CTO, CIO, or technology leader trying to move past buzzwords like "agentic AI" and "AI-first," this conversation is for you.
Many organisations are investing in AI, yet struggle to translate those investments into enterprise-wide transformation and measurable business value.
